Abstract: | The crystal structure of 4‐(1‐methyl‐1‐mesitylcyclobutane‐3‐yl)‐2‐aminothiazole (C17H22N2S1) has been determined by X‐ray crystallographic techniques. The compound crystallizes in the triclinic space group P‐1 with Z = 6. The crystal structure was solved by direct methods and refined by full‐matrix least squares to a final R‐value of 0.052 for 2298 observed reflections I > 2σ ( I ) ]. There are three crystallographically independent molecules, I, II and III. These molecules are held together by intermolecular N‐H...N hydrogen bonds. © 2006 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
